Strange, as I have perfectly good circulation in that arm. At any rate, it hasn't fallen off yet... They said "it happens sometimes", and didn't mention the obvious possibility that the man who inserted the canula and did the injection didn't do it very well. Going by what they said and the looks on their faces, I think there's at least a 75% chance that I'll have to go back for a third attempt. Not happy!
